Saw your video recently about the struggles of getting wishlists and attention on the game. Really happy to see Thomas checking it out and giving you a lot of great feedback and more publicity. I've been gearing up to get into gamedev for awhile; followed a bunch of tutorials, built a U.I based application in Unity to get a feeling for coding and problem solving. When I saw your DevLog Part 8 video it put the fear of failure back in me, but seeing you push through that fear yourself and also getting the attention of experienced indie devs in the wider community, it has given me hope that with enough will power, it is possible to see a project through. Keep at it, we're all routing for you!

Hey Thomas thanks a lot for playing my game *Mannequin* ! I'm the developer! When I send you it was still missing a lot of stuff and I prepared that demo just for you. About the shader I'm just using the standard shader (built-in) with post processing and AO (Beautify + HBAO). Other than that the textures are baked into texture arrays to improve performance. The game has a game loop now with Voice Acting, more mannequin action, a surprising area etc... If anyone liked the concept the game is on a more stable state now!

Hi Thomas Brush, thanks for choosing & playing my game (the last one 13:56 ). Love the feedbacks and I was surprised you found so many bugs that I missed. For the waking up animation, I just pause the player control and use cinemachine's virtual camera to blend between 3 cameras by changing its priority.

This feels like it could be a great series that you repeat every so often. Just make it clear when you're going to do it and give some rules for submissions to weed out getting spammed with things that you don't necessarily want to trawl through. I'd bet that people wont even want a reward, just seeing their game be critiqued would be enough.

@davdav4804 Жыл бұрын

Man! That kind of videos are a great idea for a series, a significant amount of your audience are people who are looking up to you an would love to see you critique their games! I would be really happy to see more video of this format, even without the money prize, I think what is more valuable here are your comments and the large amount of people that will see the games ! Take care !

@LorneDev Жыл бұрын

One thing I just realized watching this: you're giving excellent feedback. It's clear and you give context to why you're thinking a specific way. I will for sure submit Lorne demo once it is ready in the hopes you do more of these!

I may be wrong, as I've only played with 3rd person, but you should be able to easily switch cinemachine cameras, both using trigger areas and timeline etc. This should work for switching from cinematic to the character controller.

14:12 isnt this why we have cinemachine? i would put 2-3 virtual cameras and enable them chronologically so it looks like the player is waking up and at the end enable the player movements i think it can be done with an animation, disable player movement so it doesnt interfere with gravity (so the animation can play out), play the animation once, enable movement

What I would do for making the camera move into the player's position is to have the player GameObject active but you aren't able to move the player. Then, make a second camera for the animation. Make the animation end at the position of the player's fps camera. Once the animation ends, delete the animation camera and make the player able to move. That's what I would do anyways. Idk how others would do it. Also, where would I be able to submit games of mine for your review?
